Putting ice cubes in your vagina can actually have negative side effects. It can cause irritation, numbness, and even frostbite. It is not recommended to insert ice cubes into the vagina. If you are experiencing any discomfort or pain in that area, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
